    Peritus and Alec

    Hey Guys, I'm sorry to have disappeared. I caught a nasty case of the flu. Anyway, poor excuse, but I finished the vocals for "Ashes" that song you wanted to work on. I did about 4 takes and did a cut and paste of all the best parts (if you can call them that) into one file. The only thing...

    Pocket PC Compositions for your pondering and snickering pleasure

    Hello all! It's good to be back...I hope. Anyway, I've been off music (as well as these music boards) for the past year or so (not that anyone cares), due to some personal situations, as well as a day job that was totally kicking my ass. Since I'm now in a less stressful situation (for the...

    MAudio Audiophile 2496

    I'm in the process of putting together a desktop PC for music recording, et. al. (since my Dell laptop, which I had been using as a recording device for the past couple of years, bit the dust on me). This card is currently selling for 99 bucks at ZZound.com. Anyone have any experience with it...

    Live Tracks by me!

    So, I've made some live tracks available on my page at AL for your enjoyment and/or drubbing. This coffee house where I occasionally perform will, for a small fee, create CDs of performances. So I took a CD, I created wave files, did some eqing (like, upping the bass and the treble, and even...

    Kick my ass!! Please!!!!!

    I resang and did some tweaking on my song "Ballad of Phoolan Devi". I've discovered how to do use some of the DirectX and VST effects within N-Track, and I've been able to make some of the tracks within the song sound really cool. Then come my vocals. I redid my vocals this afternoon, doing...

    Grumble Grumble Grumble...

    I redid the guitar parts on my song "Just This Side of Eden". There are actually three guitars playing on this song now: Two miced acoustic takes placed at left and right, and the original DI take that's been placed in the middle. I now realize that either I should have fixed some mistakes in...

    OK...Two more opportunities for you to kick my ass...

    I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, huh? :D I uploaded two more acoustic numbers on one of my pages at Artistlaunch. The are at the top of the page. I took some of the ample advice I got a couple of days ago (HEE HEE HEE) and applied it where I could. The first one (on the very top) is...

    Acoustic Mixes, anyone? Feedback from great musical minds?

    Hey all! I've put up some initial mixes of some acoustic tunes I'm working on. These will eventually go on an EP that I (hope) to distribute locally via gigs in coffeehouses and such. The only one on there I'm REALLY not happy with is Niland. The vocal file has a lot of noise on it, and I...

    My Contribution to the Homerecording.com CD

    Yeah, I'm cutting it close...I just printed out and signed the contract, and I'm now redong the cd burning (I burned an audio CD, rather than a data CD, per Slack's req's. Bad me :rolleyes ). Anyway, I've worked on this song for the past two weeks, and was up all night trying to get this mix...

    Outboard compressor, anyone?

    I've been asking around about possible outboard compresors that I can use to get myself off of using my ART MP Studio preamp, when my ART Phantom II Box comes in. A lot of people suggested the Really Nice Compressor. I went over to that sight, and while I was really impressed with it, and as...

    What sound absorption material should I use?

    So, I was perusing this thread in the N-Track forum and, when one guy started discussing how he used egg crates as a sound absorption technique, and another guy stated that he used bubblewrap as a sound absorption technique it got me thinking about this voice over article from Electronic...

    ARTcessories

    Has anybody tried these? I'm particularly interested in the Phantom II for when I go traveling. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Phantom2/ I may even dump my Art MP Studio and just use this and my US-224 or my USB3, which already have pramps.

    I need a portable mixer. Any ideas?

    I've got a portable mini-disc player that I want to start pouring some ideas into from out of my palm pilot (or synth). If I want to sing along, the only way I can do that is with a mixer. I'm looking for a small, battery-operated mixer that can do this. (Space constraints in the home, ya...
